“Firstly, the cottage was comfortable and well located for a great holiday.”

However, in no way could it be classified as a luxury cottage. The garden was definitely not child friendly with builders debris (including steel reinforcing mesh and concrete pieces) lying around exposed - it was enclosed so good for dogs, but not safe with the debris there. The leather dining chairs were falling apart with pieces of leather falling off; the pots and frying pan were pealing and difficult to clean etc. - would luxury accommodation have mismatched cutlery etc (maybe petty but we were paying for a "luxury" cottage). However the worst aspect was an infestation of wood lice when we arrived. We had to keep killing them and sweeping them up from around the skirting boards and window cills for the first few days but the odd one was still seen up to the end of our stay. With an infant crawling around this was totally unacceptable.

“Perfect house, everything was spot on.”

Fenced area save for our dog. Great location, beautiful beach close by. Some of our group worked from there and internet/wifi was very good. Highly Recommend it!

“It was a treat to stay at Anchor; the house was wonderfully clean and comfortable, and the surrounding area is beautiful.”

The housekeeper & owner helped everything run smoothly for us. It’s an ideal spot for young children - with a stunning beach & play park within walking distance. The basket of toys was also very well received! Thank you for a lovely stay!

“The Anchor is a beautiful, modern holiday home.”

Its has great facilities as well as games and books for rainy days. The location in Ness is great with shops, beaches and cafes close by. I would definately recommend staying here if you are visiting Lewis.

The property

Anchor is a newly renovated, luxury self catering house situated in Ness in the NW corner of Lewis. This beautifully appointed house sleeps 6 and is an ideal place for your Hebridean holiday. Eoropie beach is a short walk and offers pristine sands, fabulous surfing and swimming opportunities and a wonderful place to relax in the dunes and take is some stunning sunsets. However, the jewel for the families is that here you will find the most magnificent mile long playpark in the dunes with picnic tables and opportunities for play for all ages. To the rear of the house sits the Spòrsnis, the sports centre with a swimming pool, sports hall and 10 pin bowling. There are cafes and a pub with a beer garden and meals. Artists are attracted to this area and some have stayed and made it their home. Visit their galleries whilst here and take home a little bit of Lewis with an original art work or a fine print. We recommend you don't miss the Gallery at Port of Ness and see the work of Anthony Barber. The house is around 40 minute drive from Stornoway and an hour and 15 minutes from Harris. The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Tarbert, or Ullapool to Stornoway.

EPC Rating: Band C

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
